Got a couple of good ones at home that I'll post.

I know zero about them, but with that kind of power, would think you could run over just about anything, in some of the thickest swamps and thickest watery vegetation that gives misery to us prop guys. Just run over it! One of those could have saved me probably hundreds of cumulative hours of righting entangled/fouled props, but as my runs are almost always less than a mile, can't see it being practical. But then WTF's that got ta do with it? Neat thread.

But then WTF's that got ta do with it? Neat thread. Oh if its got anything wet to it, nothing can stop it. But green grass will, sticky mud can. Sand either wet or dry can stop any airboat if you are out of the water and sometimes if its only an inch or two of water it can get interesting on hard pack sand. The way it is though, with dry grass in the winter I can come out of the creek, run up about a 10 foot tall levee, spin it around on top and park it dry. I"ve not driven miles of dry, but I've driven probably half a mile dry down at the coast on the grass and buckbrush just to see how it runs... problem is if you do get it stuck.... took us 1.5 hours to dig it out of mud one morning last september.. and was very lucky that it broke free. And they will submarine on you... no level floatation etc..... thats why the first one mentioned... the 500, will be rebuilt to freshen the motor and sold... its sides and transom are too shallow and I got my Captain Nemo badge with it when the motor hesitated in a hard turn..... Deep water is NOT your friend in one... but 6 inches to 1 inch is a blast.... We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back.....
